Hoploscopa is a genus of snout moths in the subfamily Hoploscopinae of the family Crambidae. The genus was described by Edward Meyrick in 1886, with Hoploscopa astrapias as type species.

A recent taxonomic study using morphology and DNA data described an additional 26 species, so that the genus currently comprises 42 species. At least 30 more species await scientific description.

The caterpillars are reported to feed on ferns.
